Online Therapy for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ Adults in Florida
Nicole Obih, LCSW, is a Nigerian-American, Black queer therapist offering online therapy to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ adults anywhere in Florida. Florida has plenty of therapists. Very few understand what it's like to be Black, queer, trans, or the child of immigrants. With me, you won't have to explain your identity, your family, or why “setting a boundary" isn't that simple.

My approach: ACT, CBT, and trauma-informed care

Florida telehealth FAQs
Do I need to be in Florida for sessions? Yes. You have to be physically in Florida (or Texas) during each session.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person? For anxiety, depression, and trauma, research shows telehealth works about as well for most adults, and you skip the commute.
Are you licensed in Florida? I'm authorized to provide telehealth in Florida (FL TPSW6134) and licensed in Texas (TX 64147).
